Moray Mission Excerpt:

It was a pleasant morning in the Ahway Island reef. Gentle sunlight filtered through the water, making the walls of Mildred Moray Eel’s cozy cave glow. Mildred stretched luxuriously. Her long, slender body curved gracefully as she made her way to the cave entrance. Mildred peered out from the opening. She sighed happily as she watched a school of vibrantly colored fish swim by in a joyful parade. Their scales shimmered in the sunlight, creating a dazzling underwater spectacle as the sea creatures laughed and played.

Suddenly, a loud rumbling noise shattered the joyful scene. A dark shadow passed by overhead, momentarily blocking the warm sunbeams. Startled, the little fish scattered in all directions, disappearing into the nooks and crannies of the reef. The playful parade had vanished in an instant.
